We went paddle boarding in Georgetown and it was great. Location was perfect- it was completely deserted in one direction and in the other direction we took some nice photos with a view of Washington landmarks. We hadn't paddle boarded before and it was a good place to try it out as the water was very calm.

I have done this several times. I usually do a kayak in the morning when they open so it is not that hot out yet. A FUN thing to do and a great way to see some sites. Very relaxing. I highly recommend this. I usually leave from Georgetown but have also used Navy Yard location.

My boyfriend and I rented a double kayak at the Georgetown boathouse and we had a great time. It is the perfect way to see DC from a different vantage point. You can go up and down the Potomac and the views are incredible. Would definitely recommend. Make sure you wear a swimsuit or something you don't mind getting wet in.

Perfekt kayaking for a beginner like me! Take the whole day out or just one hour. Kayaking or paddle boards and go up stream watching the nature life.

We signed up for the "fall foliage tour" and even though most of trees haven't changed colors it was a great experience. There are only four of us on the tour - maybe others were afraid about the weather (it was in the 50s but we were comfortable while paddling). We were given life vests and minimal instruction (not much needed) and helped into our boats. Our guide was really nice and told us a bit of history and identified parks and trails along the shore as we paddled by.

Great paddle boarding and kayaking in Washington DC. Paddle boarding was much easier than I thought. Greatest thing was if you wanted quiet nature w/ eagles and blue heron you go up river. If you want views of the city (Georgetown and Kennedy Ctr) w/ lots of people, you go down river. All on the same trip. It was amazing. Something for all preferences.

Easy, just walk right up, sign a waiver and off you go. Reasonable rates and a calm, quiet lagoon to paddle around in. Not much scenery but if you're just wanting to get on the water-- this is as easy as it gets.

Had a wonderful time kayaking with the twilight tour group. Hit wind against us on the way out and then no wind on the way back, but that didn't stop us from learning some awesome DC facts (especially about Teddy Roosevelt -- our tour guide definitely had a thing for Teddy!) and enjoying the beautiful sunset over the lighted buildings. The tour guides were super friendly and helpful, plus they were full of random, cool information about the history of the city. The kayaking was great. Enough to feel like a light workout. And the time of day was perfect to watch the sun set while we were kayaking. I definitely plan on returning for a paddle boarding tour!!

I have taken two tours with Vimbly and am looking forward to many more in the future! They have a wide variety of opportunities, many of which I would never have thought of doing. Both tours that I attended were well organized, interesting, and fun. I look to Vimbly for ideas and activities when I want to find something fun to do.

Used Vimbly 3 times now: booked a Knife Skills class at Institute of Culinary Education, booked tickets to Improvised Shakespeare (HOW DID THEY EVEN GET ACCESS TO THESE???), and booked tickets to an Improv show at the Upright Citizen's Brigade. Really simple and efficient way to find something to do and book it right away without ever having to pick up a phone. I like that you can search by date and also category.

As far as a rating, I'd absolutely give your site a 10. It's easy to use, easy to find whats upcoming, unambiguous and concise. It's something my mother could use without calling me seven times with questions. I've already pointed some friends to the site, and you can be sure I'll be using it in the future.

I already have recommended it to a friend! Several in fact. The site is such a good idea and I love how the people at Church Street knew we were coming and treated us like their own customers and not coupon redeemers. My girlfriend and I will definitely be going back there and are already looking on your site for what to do next weekend.

Easily one of the best dates I've been on, and I have Vimbly to thank for the idea. Planning to use it again while I'm in the city for the next month, and already reminded my coworkers about it.
